摘要: Recent extensive investigations in the Salt Range (Pakistan) yielded abundant, well-preserved ammonoid faunas of earliest to latest Smithian age that provided basis for a major revision taxonomy and establishment high-resolution biostratigraphic sequence. Here, an additional new fauna typical early affinity from uppermost part Ceratite Sandstone Nammal Gorge section is described. The fauna, termed Euflemingites cirratus beds, bracketed between underlying “Flemingites flemingianus beds”, here renamed Clypeoceras superbum overlying middle Brayardites compressus beds. Comparison with recently published biochronological scheme NIM (northern Indian Margin) based on Range, Spiti (Himachal Pradesh, northern India) Tulong (South Tibet) basins shows Euflemigites correlates Dieneroceras beds common occurrence species Kraffticeras pseudoplanulatum. trans-panthalassic biogeographical distribution allows correlating Meekoceras gracilitatis zone western USA. Three (Kashmirites weisserti, Arctoceras schalteggeri Vercherites wyleri) are
